CNN's website has this ~1 hour old article: Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack | CNN

A minute ago a CNN anchor clued me into the new hasbara spin: "Hamas was willing to kill babies so..." At that point I paused and googled for two reasons. I needed to confirm there was no proof of the beheadings or or rest of the lies. It was still beheaded baby vibes. And I needed to stop myself from taking my desktop screen, lifting it over my head, and bringing it down repeatedly until I passed out from injury and pain.

All the experts on the Ukraine conflict have now become Middle East experts.

Influencers. They go with whatever's the hottest "content".

Starting to think the IDF hasn't actually sent much armour to Gaza and has instead sent the vast majority of their armour to the northern border with Lebanon due to fears about Hezbollah.

Also think that any timescale we see them give for anything should be doubled or tripled.

Britain will facilitate flights out of Israel to help its citizens leave the country, with the first such flight due to depart Tel Aviv later on Thursday, the foreign office said in a statement.

"Vulnerable British nationals will be prioritised for these flights. At this stage we will contact those who are eligible for the flights directly and British nationals should not make their way to the airport unless they are called," the foreign office statement said.

The flights would be open to British nationals and dual-nationals. Their dependents would also be eligible if travelling with a British national normally resident in the UK.

They would be commercial flights, with tickets costing 300 pounds ($369.12), the foreign office said.

Lol, you have to pay to be evacuated from Israel? Wtf? Most Latin American governments send their air force to save their people for free.

no more half measures, Hezbolluh

Just got off the phone with my relative, from what he can tell its gonna pop off on Friday after jumma

And it's gonna be wild cause there were cops in the mosque who seemed to be supportive

Here we go

"South Africans are taking to the streets in support of Palestinians"

It's a 2 minute video, pretty good. The part about the guy that spent 10 years imprisoned on Robben Island for fighting against apartheid as a young man made me a bit emotional.

One of my sources has just sent me this plan found on the body of one of the Hamas terrorists involved in last saturday's attack.

This confirms that they deliberately targeted children, truly sickening shit. It's incomprehensible how you tankies can still support Palestine.

Got banned from a bunch of reddits, advocating for genocide and the death of Arabs is ok. Telling those advocates that they should kill themselves or that I will do it for them is however uncivil and a ban-able offense.

Strap me to a missile and fire me at the US.

"Scenes of communist DFLP units taking over Israeli military sites in occupied territory publish just recently"

now I have an actual good reason to hate justin bieber

We are hitting comment levels that shouldn't even be possible.

Israeli intelligence had no information about the preparation of an attack by the Palestinian Hamas movement, American and Israeli officials told The New York Times. They called it an intelligence failure.

The newspaper notes that Hamas managed to “suppress” Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. It was overloaded with “a barrage of inexpensive but deadly missiles,” writes the NYT, specifying that the missile defense system itself is already ten years old.

Israeli warning to Hezbollah:

"IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war; US warships will support Israel in war."

80/20 rule but it's being responsible for 80% of the evil on Earth while having 20% of the population.

The Governments of Spain and Ireland both officially protested against the decision by the European Union to block and suspend all financial aid funding to Palestine. Belgium was also not too happy about it but I can't find confirmation that they protested it in an official capacity.

Even when they’re ostensibly pro-Palestine, western commentators can’t help but fall into the same trop a when talking about Hamas. Alice Trashfuture out of nowhere said “Hamas is going to go into these settlements and kill incriminately and the Israeli right get to say we’re going to bulldoze Gaza into the sea, like they always have been”. On the surface indicting Israel, but playing into the fucking both-sides narrative. Exhausting

Haha! You dumb TANKIE, you fool, you idiot!!! Do you not know the Palestinians did a bad thing?

GOT YA HUH?

BREAKING: IDF discovers more than 40 rakes in settlements around the Gaza strip, strategically placed so that civilians would step on them and smack their heads. When will this terror end?

I think we're very close to a world war now. If, and it's a big if, this war broadens to include any of Israel's neighbors and then/or Iran, I think the cat's out of the fucking bag.

This is really fucking it. This is turning into a battle for the middle east.

Where's the off ramp? Where's the opportunity to de-escalate? There is none. There is a very very real chance the US gets dragged into a war with Iran over this.

Community notes: Noooooo the far right minister who openly hates arabs just meant only Hamas when he called Palestinians "animals". He didnt mean all Palestinians we swear, even though Israel is literally currently doing exactly the kind of collective punishment you'd expect if they viewed them that way. We swear! It was just Hamas!

I noticed my Insta feed is turning against Israel now

New type of guy: angry that lately people are misinterpreting his political stance as anticolonial when he actually just really hates electronica music.

🚨 The ONLY source for the "beheaded babies" claim is a pro-genocide member of a radical settler movement

Despite the claim of the discovery of beheaded Jewish babies being reported across the world, we still have no evidence for this except one man's claim: a settler named David Ben Zion.

Another journalist friend in Gaza says most Palestinians don’t want to flee because they don’t want a repeat of 1948 Nakba, they would rather die in their homes. All displaced people have nowhere to go but into the streets, waiting to be killed

Yanis Varoufakis on (i assume) novara media asks "who will represent europe" in ukraine negotiations as an example of how europe has no figure that can represent it all and is entirely irrelevant. https://streamable.com/tma66l

Simple and easy way to get people to seriously consider how vassalised europe is now.

So many US politicians are gung-ho about bombing Iran over all of this. They truly are all

Iranian Foreign Minister: I congratulate the Palestinian people on Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which is a response to Netanyahu’s war crimes

Iranian Foreign Minister: We are here to confirm the Islamic peoples and governments’ rejection of the continuation of war crimes against the Palestinians

Iranian Foreign Minister: The bombing of Gaza, displacement, and cutting off water are considered a war crime committed by the Zionist entity

Iranian Foreign Minister: I will hold talks with Lebanese officials regarding the situation in Gaza

Iranian Foreign Minister: With the continuation of war crimes against the Palestinians, all possibilities against the Zionist Regime, including new fronts, are possible in the region

One funny wrinkle to recent events in Isreal that I haven't seen mentionied much is that back at the G20 meeting the India-Middle-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), meant to counter China's BRI, was inaugurated. The idea being to facilitate the constructing of things like rail networks and hydrogen pipelines. This initiative finds its origins in the I2U2 group, consisting of India, Isreal, UAE and the US. Notably, Israel proposed the idea of increased interconnectivity through rail.

The inevitable reliance on risk-averse private companies makes the financing of such projects hard for the West under normal circumstances. But with Isreal's genocidal policies flaring up tensions in the whole region, it seems dead in the water.

This whole thing is such a massive strategic failure for the US. They wanted to pivot to East Asia, pull back from West Asia, improve relations in Africa, focus on containing China. But instead they are overextending themselves with Ukraine and Isreal. Their focus completely opposite of where they wanted it it be.

US reportedly allows Israel to confront any threat anywhere

According to the report, the US gave Israel the "green light to confront any threat on any front and in any geography." [...] The United States has allowed Israel to attack any target anywhere if it determines it poses a threat, Al-Arabiya reported on Friday, citing Israeli sources.
